Closing Thoughts
Collector deep dives are on my mind this morning. The world of William Mapan yesterday and the worlds of Kim Asendorf and The Memes by 6529 today. Watch for the news items that influence these things: Mapan’s Sketchbook, 6529 Pho launch, and an Asendorf several item build with MoMA and a Loukas sweep coming to mind.
1/1 art is shining all over the place. 1/1/X was active. 2020-21 editions are catching bids on Nifty Gateway.
This week warrants a more extensive recap when it closes. In the meantime, let’s try and keep up!
Nice to see Asendorf and glitch doing well.
